Chapter 1 – Break from Hollywood
Eddie's POV
My name is Eddie Duran and I'm 22 years old. My parents are Katy and Max Duran, but they are known as MK the big rockstar duo. I'm also a rockstar like them and I'm very single. I want a love like my parents' and now I'm searching for the love of my life. You can imagine how much my job helps with that. No matter how many girls have I gone on a date with, none of them were good enough. Don't get me wrong, they were funny and pretty but they weren't just her, the one. Anyway, by now I had enough. I've been trying so hard and I need a break. Far from this city, or even country.
Jake: Hi Eduardo! – said Jake my manager walking through my door.
Eddie: Hi Jake! What's up?
Jake: We have just got a request for a reality show.
Eddie: What kind of reality show?
Jake: It's called 'Survivors' and it's kinda about when celebrities are relegated to the jungel. You have to manage to live without modern technology and everything what is natural here. There will be a task that you have to complete and if you do, you're protected for the duel at the end of every week. The ones who loose this duel are have to go home.
Eddie: It sounds good. I really need a break from Hollywood. Where is it gonna take place?
Jake: Somewhere in the Brazilian jungel.
Eddie: Great. Who else will be there?
Jake: I don't know for sure, only a few has said yes yet. But I'm 100% sure that Loren Tate will be there.
Eddie: Wait did you just say Loren Tate?
Jake: Yes.
Eddie: Oh my God! I'm a huge fan of her music. So she will be there too?
Jake: Yes, she will. So are you in?
Eddie: Yes, I am.
This is gonna be fun.
Loren's POV
I'm Loren Tate the international rockstar. I'm 21 years old and I have no boyfriend. My parents are Nora and Trent Tate. I wasn't really popular back then in high school. I only had a few friends, but my bestest friend is Mel Sanders. I was 18 years old when I got discovered by the famous manager Kelly Smith. I was just sitting on a bench and singing when a forgein woman walked up to me. She asked me if I wanted to be famous and I was why not? Since then my life has totally changed. After getting famous people who haven't noticed me once wanted to be my friends.
Kelly: Hi Lo! – said Kelly walking into my penthouse.
Loren: Hey!
Kelly: So I have interesting news.
Loren: What is it?
Kelly: We have just gotten a request for a reality show.
Loren: What kind of reality show?
Kelly: It's called 'Survivors' and it's kinda about when celebrities are relegated to the jungel. You have to manage to live without modern technology and everything what is natural here. There will be a task that you have to complete and if you do, you're protected for the duel at the end of every week. The ones who loose this duel are have to go home.
Loren: Wow so great, so far. Where is gonna take place?
Kelly: Somewhere in the Brazilian jungel.
Loren: Great. Who else will be there?
Kelly: I don't know for sure, only a few has said yes yet. I only know that Eddie Duran is invited too.
Loren: Wait did you just say Eddie Duran?
Kelly: Yes. Why?
Loren: Oh my God! I'm the biggest fan of his music. He's my idol since I was 16. So he will be there too?
Kelly: I'm not sure. Let's hope. So are you in?
Loren: Yes, I am.
This is gonna be fun.
Eddie's POV
After accepting the request for the „Suriviors" I wanted to tell my parents about this. They probably won't be so thrilled about it but they need to understand that I need a break from my rockstar life. I parked my car in front of their club and went in. They were sitting at the bar and probably doing the books. Grace was cleaning the glasses for tonight's opening. When they noticed me they shoot a smile at me.
Katy: Hi sweetie!
Max: Hey son!
Grace: Hi Eddie!
I walked over to them and gave all of them a hug.
Katy: So what brings you here?
Eddie: Can't I just visit my amazing parents.
Max: Of course you can.
Katy: So what's up? It's been a while since we last saw you.
Eddie: I know ma, I'm sorry! The past few weeks has been just so busy.
Katy: We understand.
Eddie: Yeah, well I have some news.
Max: Ohh what is it?
Eddie: Jake came by earlier today and said that I had gotten a request.
Katy: For what?
Eddie: For a reality show.
Max: What kinda reality show?
Eddie: It's called 'Survivors' and it's about when celebrities are relegated to the jungel and have to manage to live there.
Katy: Ohhh.. and you?
Eddie: I accepted.
When I saw the sadness in my mom's eyes I instantly started feeling guilty for deciding this fast.
Eddie: What's wrong mom?
Katy: Nothing, just… that I haven't seen you a lot lately and it looks like I'm not really going to.
Eddie: I'm so sorry mom, but please understand that I need a break from this whole disaster.
Katy: I do understand, but I've missed you.
Eddie: I've missed you too. – He said pulling her mom into an embrace. – And I promise after I'm done with this show we're gonna spend as much time as we can together. OK?
Katy: OK? But please be careful! When will you leave?
Eddie: I don't know the details but as soon as I know them I'll call you.
Katy: OK.
Eddie: So if you have time now. We can hang out.
Katy: Let's do it.
Mom finished doing the book and after that she and I spent the rest of the evening together.
Loren's POV
After Kelly told me the news, I instantly went to see Mel and my parents. I called them and told them to meet me at my parents. I got into my car and drove off to my old house. It is a weird feeling going back there. Lately I haven't been able to visit my parents. I parked the car on the driveway and went to the door. I took my key out and went in. My family were sitting at the dining table.
Loren: Hey guys!
All: Hey Lo!
They walked up to me and I gave each of them a hug. I've missed them so much so I'm so happy that we get this time to spend together. We walked back to the table and sat down.
Nora: So what's going on with you? We wanna know everything.
Mel: And I mean everything.
Trent: Yes, it's been a long time since we last saw you.
Loren: I know dad and I'm sorry but everything is just oughh.
Mel: Yean sucks to be a rockstar huh?
We all laughed and then I continue telling them what has been happening to me.
Loren: So that's it broadly.
Nora: Good. I's so great to see you Lo. Do you have time? We could have dinner together.
Trent: Yeah that'd be great. I miss my little girl.
He said and put his hand above me. I put my other on above his .
Loren: Miss you too daddy, and yes I will stay for dinner, but mom I still have a news.
Mel: What's it?
Loren: Well Kelly came by this evening and she said that I had got a request for a reality show.
Trent: What kind of reality show?
Loren: Its name is 'Survivors'. It's like survey for celebrities. They wanna know if we manage to live without all the technolgy stuffs. It will take place in the Brazilian jungel.
N&T&M: Wow.
Loren: Please don't look at me like this. You're making this hard for me.
Nora: We're not looking at you in any way.
Loren: Yes, you do! I saw the sadness in your eyes.
Nora: No, it's just that… since your face I haven't got to see you a lot. – With tears in her eyes.
Mel: Yeah Lo. We miss you. – With tears in her eyes.
My eyes instantly filled with tears after their sentences.
Loren: Oh, guys. I miss you too so much, and I'm so sorry that I haven't been around a lot lately. But please understand that this whole thing is starting to chew me up. I need a break from the spotlight and this show is perfect for it.
Nora: OK. OK. Sorry for breaking down like this.
Loren: There's nothing to be sorry for, and I promise after the show you'll be stucked with me. We will spend as much time as possible together. You'll get bored of me.
Mel: I wouldn't say that. - Laughing
Nora: Will that be OK?
Loren: Of course. I will ask her for some time off.
Nora: That'd be great.
I looked up from my mom and saw my dad sitting on his chair with no emotions on his face. I quickly walked over to him and gave him a hug.
Loren: Oh daddy.
Trent: Isn't it dangerous? I mean going to the jungle.
Loren: I'm sure they will have everything as safe as possible. The producers are really trustworthy.
Trent: OK. If you wanna do this then I'll support you.
Loren: Thanks. You made it easier.
Trent: Love you little girl. – He said and gave me a kiss on my cheek.
Loren: Love you too dad. – I said and hugged him one last time. – So how about that dinner?
After discussing their decisions with their family both Eddie and Loren spent the rest of the evening with their love ones. At the end of the day they both were exhausted and couldn't wait to crush their beds. They went home and instantly went to sleep.
The next morning
Eddie and Loren were peacfully sleeping when they were brought back from their dream worlds by their phones. Eddie groened and picked up the phone.
Eddie: Hallo? – Sleepy
Jake: Eduardo! You sound awful!
Eddie: Thanks Jake! What do you want at 7 am?
Jake: Sorry! Did I wake you up?
Eddie: Yes, you did! But please spill it out what's going on?
Jake: You need to come to the office at noon. I have some news.
Eddie: What kind of news?
Jake: You'll know! But now go back to sleep! See ya later! – With that he hung up.
Eddie put his cellphone down and fell back on his bed.
Loren was having an amazing dream when her phone woke her up. She groaned and picked it up.
Loren: Hallo?
Kelly: Hey Loren! Did I wake you?
Loren: Yes, you did.
Kelly: Sorry, but you know we managers never stop.
Loren: Yeah, so what's up?
Kelly: Have some news. Can you come to a meeting at noon?
Loren: Yes. Where?
Kelly: The address is …
Loren: OK.
Kelly: Get some sleep, and I will see you at noon.
Loren: Bye.
They hang up and Loren went back to sleep.
The time passed quickly and now it was half past 11. Eddie and Loren were both ready for their meetings. They hopped into their cars and took off.
Eddie parked his car and went up to Jake's office.
Eddie: Jake I'm here! – He went through the door and saw some woman with Jake. – Oh hey! I thought we have a meeting.
Jake: Yes, we have. She's a part of it.
Eddie: Oh OK! So what's up?
Jake: We found out some more details about the show and I just wanted to share them with you.
Eddie: OK. What are they?
Jake: Well it's not gonna be individual competion. You're gonna have a pair.
Woman: And that's where I come into the picture. I'm your partner's manager.
Eddie: Hold on! I know you! Your name is Kelly Smith.
Kelly: Yes, that's me.
Eddie: Wait, if you're Kelly Smith then my partner is…
Loren: Sorry I'm late.
